He is light years ahead of where P.Manning was at that age and stage of his career. And yet, the national media always fawned over Manning no matter how many stinkburgers he laid out there in the playoffs (and it was a lot until he finally got a Super Bowl ring).

Lots of good ones already taken. I'll add another couple from last season on the good side: Goff bouncing up from his QB sneak to seal the victory over Seattle and that fiery emotion we rarely see from him afterward. Or Gurley and CJ mimicking Elliot's "spoon-feed" thing as we flipped the table on how the Dallas game was "supposed" to go. Negative one... hmmmm.... Opeby EternalHorns - RamsFootballFans.com

Over 64 games (not counting playoffs), that's just over 20 Special Teams snaps per game. But according to this 2013 article (http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/64441086/nfl-statistical-analysis-average-nfl-game), there are an average of almost 25 possessions per game (just over 12 per team). So, given that every possession is going to have at least one special teams play (punt), and sometimeby EternalHorns - RamsFootballFans.com
I used to really wonder if he wanted championships or just the $$$. Well, he's put together a great coaching staff and front office for the Rams. He doesn't seem to be pinching any pennies on that end.

Last year was kind of a turning point for me (I hope). I'm learning to just enjoy each game. I'm learning to enjoy the drama as it unfolds. I'm learning to remember that each member of the team is a human being who has a life outside of the stadium and who really sacrifices their body--both muscles and mind--to play a game for my enjoyment as a fan. That's a pretty big deal. So, I'm learning to bby EternalHorns - RamsFootballFans.com
This is what their CBA lawyers are supposed to figure out and go to bat for them on. The whole CBA is obviously a big hairy thing and rather complicated. Perhaps this "loophole" was one smaller chip given up to get a bigger chip in the players' favor. Who knows? In any case... I'd be happy if Countess would take a paycut and resign. If he won't... it happens. EDIT: Guess the Eagleby EternalHorns - RamsFootballFans.com
That all makes ton of logical sense. Right with you there. But not if your name is Kurt Warner. Despite his actual physical capabilities, he thought he could play. He wanted to play. Meanwhile, Bulger was actually playing really well, also. So, we had two starting-caliber QB's (no arguments that KW's ceiling was much higher), and both wanted to start NOW. What do you do?

You know when you shop on Amazon and there's that row of items that's labeled, "Other customer's bought..." or "Items you might like..." etc.? Imagine the football draft day version of that.

I think he's going to have a monster year and may even sign an extension mid-year. He's a first-round talent who gets to really mature now under one of the game's best defensive minds and in a defense much more suited for his skillset than Jacksonville was. On top of that he's got the possibility to really "prove it" and earn some bucks whether in LA or elsewhere. What did he have...by EternalHorns - RamsFootballFans.com
I've always loved the idea of two solid running backs who can punish defenses in their own particular ways. Seems like teams with that double threat often do well.

I don't watch college football much, but I usually have a general sense for what the consistently good schools are. While I think those highlights were exciting, I did note that many of the clips were against schools that are significantly less strong than your standard NFL team. So... we'll see how Henderson adjusts to the much faster and much stronger level of play in the pros. I definitelyby EternalHorns - RamsFootballFans.com
The saddest part of the Fisher regime is that we were actually worse before he was hired. Hard as that is to believe. He brought us from 2-14 and 4-12 territory up to 7-9. Even when we couldn't beat anyone else, we often ate Seattle's lunch under Fisher. That was kind of nice. Don't get me wrong, I wanted him gone about two years before we actually fired him.by EternalHorns - RamsFootballFans.com
If his condition is safely treatable/fixable and he's a top-ten talent, there's no way he gets to 31 (unless by Rodgers-like fluke). If his condition is not safely treatable/fixable then I don't want to be the team that picks him and leads him to an early grave.by EternalHorns - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams haven't played on Thanksgiving Day since 1975 (that includes their history in St. Louis). That's longer than any other team in the NFL (except for Jacksonville who has never played on Thanksgiving, but they've only existed since the 1990's, so their "drought" is still shorter). So... it's about time. I hope it happens!by EternalHorns - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteNorCalRamFan As a RFA, Countess was tendered at the original-round level in March but did not receive an offer sheet on the open market. He signed his one-year contract on Monday.

Getting to the Super Bowl is really hard. I mean, really, REALLY hard. Last year was pretty magical. I'll never forget and never diminish how great the journey was. The win against KC in primetime.

I would argue that of those four, only Clay Matthews might have too much age/rust for his position. And that's a "might." He's still a pretty savvy vet.

That really is who they are. The thing is, partly because of Russell Wilson, the Seahawks do tend to play above their talent level. So they do win some games they have no business getting (e.g., the KC game last year). But, frankly, they really aren't that good. And the fact that the RAMS continue to dominate them is part of the proof in that pudding. When they play elite teams (ahem, like theby EternalHorns - RamsFootballFans.com
History textbooks that talk about urban areas will criticize generations past for "fleeing" those areas because of perceived "undesirables."
